We are selling the source code of our startup (time-tracking on IM)

I find the premise of using IM for time tracking (and hence time management) a flawed idea.<p>For me, IM is generally a distraction and a timesink, which is why I've opted to uninstall any IM clients and instead do all my interactions through mail, it saves time.<p>I just don't see how this has any value but I'm willing to be proven wrong.<p>You mentioned you lost your clients? How? (just curious)

nobody is going to buy the code from a failed business. why not open-source it?

I don't think you are going to get many takers. In a business, the source code is worth much less than say customers, brand name, etc.<p>A hobby/project becomes a startup when you have paying customers.<p>Do you have any?

Yeah, code is a liability because it rots pretty fast and requires frequent maintenance. True value is in understanding the customers problem. If your unit tests accurately capture the customers needs then it has value.

The problem is, its a technological stunt, nothing more.<p>Apparently now, everyone considers things like this startups, in reality, they are just simple technological features, not a business. Not a startup.
